Cordel,

Finding out the screen size and being able to use that seems to have done the trick...

Thanks for your help again...

I'm just off to see if I can break it now...

I have found the .png images on my desktop.

Using the picture viewer I can see the attributes.

The image size is 720 x 576 and a size of 1.2Mb !!!

Is this something that ZM can manage?

I have changed the setting for my capture card in the ZM I/F appropriately/

Cordel, Thanks for sticking with me on this. I'll try to provide the info you requested. I stopped ZM and cleared out the logs. I then restarted ZM to try and capture the relevant info in ZM logs zmdc.log Server starting at 06/02/14 14:06:59 'zmc -m 10' started at 06/02/14 14:07:02 'zmc -m 10' start...

Hi Cordel, I had used the settings you suggested in the first place, during an early satges of installing zoneminder I did have a USB camera working for testing using similar settings. For a short while I did get an image, but it seems a little hit and miss. I was able to change settings 'on the fly...

Cordel, Thanks for the quick response. I have attached the results of dmesg | grep bttv. I hope you can do something with this... I will also try to install the other TV App to see if that helps me... I have connected a receiver to the card (UK SKY TV) and I am very impressed with the quality under ...

Please be gentle as zoneminder is my only working Linux App... Still playing with Asterisk... I have been using Zoneminder with two MV1000s which has shown me how good Zoneminder is and how poor the MV1000s are... I have taken the plunge and bought the following card http://www.simplyautomate.co.uk/...

Hi Jim, It does work, in a fashion. I have two MV1000's one with 4 cameras which is very flaky and another with 1 camera which seems more stable... I have the cameras set to 0.5 fps to try to help but even then it is still a problem. It's a real shame as I like to use dedicated H/W when possible and...

Cordel,

Thanks for the suggestion, using the shift key is a great tip...

Not sure if I am being thick but when I do a search I tend to read a thread and then use the @back' button in IE6 to return to the search results. I find it is the easiest way to look through the many matches you typically get. However, on this board I get 'Page hase expired' rather than the search ...

Well Guys,

It's working...

I made the changes, picture size and colour rather than greyscale and no improvement.

I then restarted zm through the console and it is now working...

I'll be adding a few more cameras to see how I get on.

Thanks again

Nigel, now very happy...

Guys, I am having trouble configuring Zoneminder to view images from an MV1000. I have a USB camera connected to the ZM Server which appears to be working fine. I have configured: ZM_OPT_USE_AUTH to yes ZM_AUTH_METHOD to yes ZM_NETCAM_REGEXPS to yes ZM_HTTP_VERSION to 1.1 ZM_OPT_REMOTE_CAMERAS to ye...

James thanks for the quick response I tried /nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Standard but I don't get any streaming and I just get a Black picture using the Stills option... If I use the same command in IE6 I can connect and download, but it seems to download continuosly so I canceled i...

I am experimenting with Zoneminder at the moment and was trying to use a friends BCL10 camera from Panansonic.
